{TSL}'s Halloween Closet::FAIRY PRINCESS

It's that time of year again, where It's socially acceptable to dress like a freak, a monster, or for girls (as famously said by LiLo in 'Mean Girls'- ) a slut, and no one can say anything about it!

But did you know that your Halloween costume could already be in your closet?...

(or more accessible then hiring or buying a costume.)

So what are you going as for Halloween?...

Pretty as a fairy princess!

See this one is just plain cute!

Remember when you were 12years old and wearing glitter was not social suicide?

Lets rewind, & go back to making our child hood dreams (or mine anyway) of becoming a fairy reality...at least for one night. ;p

This costume is the perfect opportunity to::

1) whip out that frilly, sparkly, shiny, dress you brought cause you absolutely couldn't resist it but would never ever wear it cause your not 13...or barbie..or snooki.

2) Dig up your year 10 or 12 formal dress, cause lets be real 99.9% of the reason you got that dress was cause you wanted to have the best dress of the night & if you went to a school like mine, that meant shiny,glittery,glitzy girlishness!

It can be long or short just as long as it sparkles... Actually...

think of the wedding dresses from "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding!"...Okay, maybe that's a little too far....:/

While your thinking of glitter..Remember the spray on glitter that smelt like Bananas and your mother/dance teacher insisted upon spraying you periodically with it 1hour before you went on stage to "make you shine"?...

So we're half way to Mirror ball & we want to be fairies so why not a little further?...

Metallic eye shadows & long lashes help with the girly over load...and light on the eyeliner!

( check out these for a fairy mask of make up)

For your hair Curling & crimping help to create a Fantasy, aesthetic.

Add Some bling & of course your princess crown and VOILA!

Have fun your Majesty

{TSL}'s Halloween Closet:: WALKING DEAD

It's that time of year again, where It's socially acceptable to dress like a freak, a monster, or for girls (as famously said by LiLo in 'Mean Girls'- ) a slut, and no one can say anything about it!

But did you know that your Halloween costume could already be in your closet?...

(or more accessable then hiring or buying a costume.)

So what are you going as for Halloween?...

A new Zombie?

This one's fun!

And easy.

All you need is a plain white T-shirt, and some three qauter pants... denim works well beacuse the soaks & looks aged...and everyone has it.

Here is the part where you'll cringe..Take sicssors to your shirt!

when i say this i dont mean your favorite or band new shirt from cotton on or sports girl..Im talking about the $5 shirt from K-mart I'm going to tell you to buy.

:: buy a $5 shirt from K-mart! ;p

Cut, slash, fray and mutilate however you please!!

*for an even better effect cut it and leave pieces hanging randomly and where a red or green tank top under your white shirt!*

If your feeling brave about running your clothes or need to let some EXtra (;]) frustration out fraying your jeans will definatly help the aesthetic =]

For your Zombie hair were going back to the 80's so whip out your crimper!

Crimp and hairspray random pieces of your hair making sure you and volume to the crown.

Zombie make-up is fun! (ask taylor momsen ;p)

Heavy black eyeshadow on the top & bottom lids with help sink your dead featchers.

{or tips & tutorials to get the best effect click here! Hes so awesome!!!} 

Now your probably wondering why i have a brown palette in the set., this is to create depth and shadow in your skin (watch petrilude!)

Also for those of us that arnt really keen on getting dirt and rubbing it into your clothes or skin.

(though it probablyu look better to get real dirt)

If your going for real dirt you might aswell go ahead and add some twiggs to your hair and some in clothes. its halloween why not!

Normally i do everything in my power to make sure/ repair chipped nails... in this instants paint your nails roughly and chip them, then for the finishing touch::

Corn syrup & Red food dye= BLOOD!

Thankyou Dexter!

Dont be afriad to look horribly disgusting remember your dead!

{TSL}'s Halloween closet:: VAMPIRESS!

It's that time of year again, where It's socially acceptable to dress like a freak, a monster, or for girls (as famously said by LiLo in 'Mean Girls'- ) a slut, and no one can say anything about it!

But did you know that your Halloween costume could already be in your closet?...

(or more accessable then hiring or buying a costume.)

So what are you going as for Halloween?...

A Seductive Vampire, you say?

All you need as that sexy LBD thats hanging in your closet!

Heres the great things about this costume idea:

-You already own the dress.( if you dont its not hard to find)

-If you have one then you know it fits you perfectly!!

-..And last but deffinatly not least: It's black, which means its sliming.

Team your LBD with Sexy heels. and a stylish clutch!

For accessories, expensive looking jewellary is a must, it adds some bling to your look, dazzels & well..Vampires always seem to have really expensive stuff that they pay for with their ancient (endless) bank accounts.

Make up is a must- normally id tell you to leave the heavy eye make-up in your beauty bag if your wearing a red lip, BUT i dont feel like getting bitten & its Halloween, why not?..and while your there, Long red nails and fake eyelashes to finish off your sexy look!

For your hair a sexy curl is just what you need to accenturate the curves in your killer LBD!

To finish, Run (really fast, cause it's easy for you ;p ) over to your local $2 bargin shop and pick up some Vampire teeth to set of those sexy red lips, then Go stalk the night!

Historical Fiction Award-Winning Novel Filled With Swashbuckling, Page-Turning Fun

I read "Quintspinner" because I sponsored the award in the Historical Fiction category for the Reader Views Literary Awards. It was the first year I had sponsored the award, and since I had no role in the judging, I was curious to see what book would win. And I was not disappointed by the results. I was excited to hear a historical novel about pirates was the winner because I figured it would be a good read, but I had no idea what a talented writer Dianne Greenlay would be or what a great story she would spin. I was thrilled, after reading "Quintspinner" that it had won, and the award is well-deserved.
"Quintspinner" is the story of Tess Willoughby, who lives in 1717 London. Tess, while walking through the marketplace of London, meets an old crone who reveals that Tess is a "quintspinner," someone who can control five magic rings. The crone says it's proven by the birthmark Tess has. When the crone is soon after murdered, Tess is left with many questions about her past and the destiny that lies before her, as well as the bejeweled ring the crone has left to her.
Tess soon after finds herself on a journey to the West Indies with her adoptive parents. Worse, her adoptive father arranges for her betrothal to the man she witnessed murder the crone. But Tess also finds herself falling in love with a young sailor who was pressed into service on the ship along with his father. All these characters are in for the adventure of their lives, as is soon revealed when the ship is attacked by a pirate ship. Without going into the plot further, a great deal of action, high seas adventures, some magic, and a couple twists of fate make "Quintspinner" a novel never to be forgotten and even to be read and enjoyed again and again. Early on, Tess knows there are five spinner rings, but at the end of the novel, she only has three-a sure sign that a sequel is coming, and I can't wait to read it.
To me, "Quintspinner" is the quintessential pirate adventure novel. It reminded me of "Treasure Island," but it was much more fast-paced and interesting than that somewhat boring book, and it reminded me of "Pirates of the Caribbean" for its action and magic, but without the quirky and somewhat stupid characterizations of those films. Like a good adventure movie-and this book would make an excellent film-we move from scene to scene, fluctuating between two storylines that soon come together. The settings in London, on the high seas, and in the West Indies create great visual scenes as a backdrop for a tale of love, adventure, secrets, and magic. I hope the epic Disney film version is not far off.
What I most appreciated about "Quintspinner" was the powerful, effective writing. The book is Dianne Greenlay's first published novel, but I suspect she has been working at her craft for quite some time. She knows how to write crisp, tight dialogue, effective scenes, and short chapters that keep the plot moving, keep the action going, and keep the reader interested. More than a writer, she is a true novelist for how she masterfully handles all the elements that make good fiction.

Science Fiction and Fantasy For Younger Readers - Part Two - History is a Thing of the Past

History is a thing of the past and there are over five thousand recorded years of it to serve as an inspiration for writers in many different genres. Both historical fiction and time travel adventures, either for children or adults, show no signs of waning in popularity, but to be plausible to the reader, even stories involving magic or imaginary technology have to be well grounded in reality. In The Alchemist's Portrait, during a school field trip to the art gallery at a local museum, Matthew journeys through the frame of a magical painting, which acts as a time portal, to Amsterdam in the year 1666. A straightforward idea maybe, but how does this doorway actually work? Although time travel may remain firmly in the realm of fiction, the conditions under which it occurs still have to appear believable. If readers consider your means of time travel to be utterly ridiculous, they will quickly be turned off the story altogether.
As a writer it is vital that you create a credible method, machine or device for your time traveler, and many so-called time travel stories often overlook this important aspect. Especially in relation to novels for younger readers, the main character goes back in time at the end of chapter one, has a series of adventures in the past, before the he or she returns safely home at the book's conclusion. While these types of stories are set in a distinct time period, they should perhaps be more accurately classified as historical fiction. In numerous classic time travel tales, the hero goes into the past or future only to discover that their machine or device has either malfunctioned, become broken or is stolen by the chief villains of the piece.
This leads to an adventure in which the main character is stranded in a far flung time period, and a story in which time travel itself, along with all its complexities, is the key element.

Plus hair extensions are a great way to experiment with new looks and not have to worry about making any permanent changes.
